Scott Geoffrion

Scott Geoffrion (May 18, 1965 – May 8, 2006) was an American NHRA drag racing driver. He was a former two-time Pro Stock World Championship runner-up and a nine-time national event winner. He died on May 8, 2006, of an apparent heart attack in Irvine, California. Geoffrion reached the final round 28 times in his career that spanned more than 200 races from 1987 through 2004. He didn't score his first victory until his tenth final round, in Memphis in 1993, where he defeated Pro Stock legend Bob Glidden.

ESPN's obituary listed him as "a character, a charmer, and a drag racer who wanted to enjoy himself as much as he wanted to win."

Career In 1987, Geoffrion began his Pro Stock career as a team driver for Warren Johnson. Still, it wasn't long before Geoffrion's talents were recognized and he was offered a factory car alongside Darrell Alderman.

Throughout the early 1990s, Geoffrion and his Team Mopar teammate, Darrell Alderman, generated an aura throughout the sport. Alderman and Geoffrion became known as "The Dodge Boys" and Mopar's Pro Stock hinged on that brand for the next several years. During that time, Alderman added two more championships to his 1991 title while Geoffrion provided Mopar with a formidable 1-2 punch that resulted in his two runner-up points finishes in 1992 and 1994 (career-high six wins). Geoffrion logged a career six top-ten finishes.
